Experience Luxurious Island Style In The Desert At This New Southern California Resort

Palm Springs has long been a favored celebrity getaway and continues to be a premier vacation destination for many Southern Californians, especially in fall and winter months (but let’s be honest, it is popular year-round) when the desert weather is simply lovely. Now, there is one more reason to plan a trip to the desert because the very first Tommy Bahama Resort has just opened in the town of Indian Wells, CA, and it is spectacular.

Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells (part of Greater Palm Springs) is a tranquil retreat spread over 11 beautiful acres. Palm Springs luxury is combined with Tommy Bahama’s iconic laid-back style and a real feeling of island living in the heart of the Southern Californian desert.

The very definition of an oasis in the desert, the resort is characterized by gardens full of flowers and herbs, aromatic citrus and olive trees, bougainvillea, palm trees, and a stunning mountain backdrop.

Three saltwater pools, connected by gently winding paths, provide plenty of space to cool off, sunbathe, and relax.

The resort lobby and Grapefruit Basil restaurant are filled with natural light and open to the outside patio. The restaurant offers coastal-inspired brunch and dinner every day.

Lush tropical-themed guest rooms, custom Tommy Bahama amenities, soothing mountain and garden views, and hand-painted lobby murals come together to create an elevated tropical ambiance and sense of well-being.

Reserve one of the elegant cabanas by the Chiki Palm pool for the day, where you can also enjoy tropical drinks (including a complimentary pitcher of margaritas!)

The Hideaway Pool is a serene little escape with a sun deck and heated whirlpool.

Spa Rosa offers an island-inspired menu of massages, facials, body treatments, etc. Guests can also take advantage of yoga classes and a modern fitness center open 24 hours a day.

The Olive Grove patio is a fairytale-like area where guests enjoy al fresco dining, drinks, bocce ball, twinkling lights. and live acoustic music under the stars.

After a long day of exploring nearby attractions, spa treatments, or lounging poolside, the resort’s fire pits are a lovely place to enjoy the evening.
